Hi all,

just received my Aquaduct 360 XT and after installing it managed to play about with it a bit.

Now I've come up with a couple of questions I'd like to ask here, in hope for some advice/answers:


1) Can I change the language of the Aquaero from German to English?

2) I installed the latest Aquasuite, have changed settings and added profiles, loaded them to Aquaero. But every time I reboot the computer, it seems to reset itself to default settings. What am I missing?

3) What is a 'proper' value for the water throughflow? First I had an Innovatek G-flow CPU block, had flowrates of around 70l/h. Changed it to a D-Tek Fuzion (which cools much better!) and now it's about 64 l/h. Are those ok numbers? Cooling seems pretty decent anyway.


Nothing much further for now, will have a go at learning the software somewhat better. Do I need to install anything other than the aquasuite software as well?

The firmware is 4.03 I think.

Ok thanks

Might add that the pump is running at 71Hz, I noticed that with default settings it's at 50Hz only. Is it ok to run in higher frequencies like I'm doing now? I don't know how it came to run at 71Hz to start with, bought the unit 2nd hand so perhaps the previous owner programmed it.

The flowrate of 60-65 l/hour is @ 71Hz
At 50Hz it's only about 40 l/hour.

Running@ 70heart is perfect. You can set a jumper on the Aquastream controller which sets the frequency.

Ah... you people keep calling it jumper but I guess you mean those screwpots? Or anyway, those two small screws that one can adjust?

At current if I push the pump to 100% it goes up to 74Hz... do I understand correctly that adjusting the screwpots might allow for higher frequencies than that?

And am I correct in assuming that it's generally not very wise to push the pump harder than the 'default' settings allow for?

I'm talking of the Aquaduct 360 XT package. So the small printboard which can be mounted in the backside of the PC and where the molex connector is plugged in.

There are 2 small screws which can be adjusted there. On the image below I mean the screws inside the green plastic thingie on the top left of the printboard.

Ok guess we were talking about different things then

Anyways, now I just hooked up another external pump just for the fun of it and for testing. Water temperature doesn't really change but CPU temp does, since the flow rate changed from about 60-65 to about 90-95 l/h.

Does this in any way hurt the compactstream pump? If it is forced to spin faster than it wants? Or does the extra pump simply help out, so it's a good thing really?

Also, I was told it's possible to turn off the internal pump completely, but I don't know how?
